Card cutting machines

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Just reading over the 82TT Ripken thread and was curious about what was out there that has the ability to make clean cuts. I understand there are your local retail Fiskars paper cutters. I'm more interested in the laser cutting machines that I hear about or the "micro slicer" mentioned in the thread.

Anyone got pics or links?
Can PSA tell if they were cut, particularly modern stuff?

Edited to add: No, I'm not buying one!

    I'm sure Toro is an upstanding member of his community and has no intention of defrauding anybody. Clearly he seeks this information for educational purposes only.

    All cards are sheet cut. Why bother with who cut them?


    Most uncut sheets have been rolled up and stored resulting in many surface wrinkles, even if cut perfectly, they'll grade no higher than a 5.

    Now if someone would just start a thread on cracking open PSA holders and resealing them so it can't be detected, the day will be complete!

    Haha, I see I've offended some people speaking of things that should never be spoken. lol. I've just heard enough stories about this actually being done and the big graders missing these. I am also skeptical about that 82TT Ripken run from 4SC. Some of their edges and corners on their PSA 10's that I've seen make me wonder about the "machine cut" theory. There was also the BGS case with a 2000 SP Authentic Tom Brady and I'm sure a handful more. I understand if some of you aren't ready to talk about it, that's ok, take your time. image

    Looks like the laser cutter burns the paper. Might leave "evid of trim"

    I really like the Topps Laser cards. I'll be putting a set together one of these days.

    It's an amazing coincidence that threads like this always seem to be started on a Friday night. What are the chances?
